On-site Health Clinics

In an effort to control the skyrocketing costs of health insurance and health care, there is a new trend among large employers: opening on-site health clinics. According to a 2014 survey by benefits consultant Mercer, nearly 30% of large companies (more than 5,000 employees) offered on-site or near-site primary care clinics, up from 24% in 2013.

Of the companies who offered a health clinic, the majority say it has reduced lost work days and helped members control chronic conditions. The 2015 EMPAQ Insights survey published by the National Business Group on Health backs this up. This survey, which polled 107 large employers in 8 industry sectors, found dramatic attendance gains for companies that offered on-site clinics. Their employees missed an average of less than 5 work days per year, compared to 20 days per year for employees whose company did not offer an on-site health clinic.
